Banana Dunkelweizen
Dunkelweizen in a dark german wheat beer. Its an unusual combination, normally wheat beers are really pale in color, and Dark beers have a roasty, caramel / chocolate taste to them.
But this is a dark beer with little of none of the caramel / chocolate flavours.
Its a refreshing wheat beer.
My version has a strong banana flavor to it due to higher fermentation temperatures.
100g Chocolate wheat malt ( Steeping for 15-20 mins )
Hops
10g Hallertau Hops ( 60 mins )
10g Hallertau Hops ( 60 mins )
Yeast
3.5g Safale WB06
Start the fermentation at 17C and slowly raise the temperature to 23C in 4 days.
At higher temperatures the WB06 yeast will produce the nice Banana flavors.
But make sure you raise the temperature slowly.
If you start with a 23C temperature you may end up getting a lot of Fusel alcohols which taste nasty.
If you don't want the Banana flavours, just ferment it at 17C - 19C throughout.

Notes
The beer had a nice strong banana smell to it as expected.
There was very little roast flavor to it, which is good for the style.
But since I fermented too high to get the banana flavor, there was a lot of Fusel alcohol taste.
Next time I will ferment at lower temperatures.
